John J. McGuire & H. Beam Piper 
Lone Star Planet 

Texans have long been known as ornery pioneers who like to have plenty of space to themselves. In Lone Star Planet, science fiction luminary H. Beam Piper posits a future where Texans have colonized a planet (known as New Texas) and pass their days wrangling giant herds of dinosaurs. It’s a rollicking read for fans who like a heaping helping of satire with their SF.
